Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum

If Fahadh Faasil is in it, I watch the movie because I know it won't be that bad of a script. Found Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum on Amazon Prime and started watching it.

It's a 2.5-hour-long movie, but you won't be disappointed at the end. A very simple narrative of a Malayali guy living in Mumbai who wants to make it big. Things change when he accidentally returns to Kerala, and the story unfolds.

The first half was quite slow, but it had some beautiful comic relief. Fahadh portrayed these roles remarkably, where he acts a bit dumb but tries to be smart to get what he wants.

The movie's length is long because there are too many characters, and everyone has a story to tell. So at times, it does get a bit convoluted. However, the second half was definitely more enjoyable, and you really want to see what happens at the climax.

It's definitely a film you can watch with your family. There's a beautiful message about female education and dealing with personal losses, except it ends on a positive note.

Honestly, the Malayalam industry has made too many comedy-dramas like this too often. In fact, it reminded me of Fahadh's previous film "Njan Prakashan," which also follows the same recipe of some comedy, a bit of tragedy, but a happy ending.

If you can spare 2.5 hours for a film, Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum is worth a watch. 7/10 for me.

"Outstanding! That's the word that comes to mind after watching this movie. The story was gripping, the direction was top-notch, and the performances were outstanding. But what really stood out for me was Fahad Fasil's amazing performance. He portrayed his character with such depth and intensity that it left me in awe.

Fahad Fasil's acting was so powerful that he made me forget I was watching a movie. He completely immersed himself in the role, and it showed in every scene he was in. He brought a range of emotions to his character, from anger to vulnerability, and everything in between. It was truly a masterful performance that will be remembered for a long time.

The movie as a whole was also fantastic. The story was well-crafted, and the direction was masterful. The supporting cast was also great, but Fahad Fasil was the standout performer.

In conclusion, if you're a fan of great movies and amazing acting, this movie is a must-watch. Fahad Fasil's performance alone is worth the price of admission. Overall, a truly outstanding movie that will stay with you long after you've watched it."

Pachuvum Albuthavilakkum is a feel good movie that can be watched with family, and is very much inline or similar to Sathyan Anthikkad films. When it comes to Sathyan Anthikkad films, especially over the last decade, we know not to expect a gripping and strong storyline, but to get introduced to different characters whom we meet during different phases of their lives. This movie is no different and the son doesn't try anything new other than may be starting the story with Mumbai as backdrop and not Chennai :)

The movie has many light moments and Fahadh Fasil and the other artists have done a great job portraying the characters assigned to them. The movie takes a turn when Paachu (Fahadh) meets Ummachi (Viji Venkatesh) and from there the movie becomes predictable and a bit dragging. But Akhil has been able to keep the audience engaged by adding in elements of emotions and comedy at right pace. Few scenes from the movie can be hand-picked that really left an emotional connect and made the viewers relate to the characters. The movie also makes people think the purpose of their lives and about the unending desire to make more money. The songs are well suited for the situation and completes the movie as in numerous Sathyan Anthikkad films.

Please step in for this movie without expectations and you'll have the satisfaction of having laughed while at the same time thinking deeply about various stages and desires of life.

I'm really happy about the way the movie turned out. Such a feel good cinema. It's been a while since I watched such a nicely taken family movie.

Written and directed perfectly.

The casting is perfect. Will surely melt anyone with a heart. Really happy to know that Malayalam cinema is secure with the next generation of film makers. Can't congratulate the director enough. Worthy of debut by Akhil Sathen, Son of Sathyen Anthicad (A perfect movie to start his directorial career indeed).

Can't find much flaws, but to nit pick, i may say that the length is a bit on the longer side but not lagged even a little. So that too is not a problem.

The simple scene sequences and simple characters are the best part of this movie... at the same time the characters changes their colour abruptly throughout the movie, this one issue reduces the authenticity of the movie...

There are lot of Fahad moments and his presence felt from the beginning to end. With great cast and acting, there is still something missing... There are too many characters and side stories, which makes the main story also like another side story...

The kid swamy and grandma are awesome...Fahad did multiple times similar roles... One time watchable...
